Loch Lomond 18 Year Old Single Malt. ABV: 46%. Highlands, Scotland. Tasted at Whisky a Day HQ, $99 (bottle).
Colour: Deep gold.
Nose: Like Ron Burgundy’s office – full of leather-bound books and rich mahogany.
Palate: Soft smokiness, with some juicy blueberry, salty notes and a hint of caramel.
Finish: Smoky umami meatiness, with a caramelised onion glaze.
Comments: In the immortal words of Ron Burgundy, 60% of the time it works every time. Exceedingly easy to sip as a pre and/or post dinner dram. A fantastic all-rounder that would appeal to most palates.
I think it is one of the strongest whiskies that I have ever tried in my life. However, I really liked the taste of it as it is not something like that I have ever tried in my life.
Hi Greg, glad you enjoyed this one! The good thing about whisky that might be a little strong for your palate is that you can gradually add a couple of drops of water until it is more to your taste. If there’s a whisky that’s too weak (or one that you’ve added too much water to) it’s very hard to make it stronger!
